[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 270986, member: 77"] There are some similarities, but it's far from apples to apples. For one, kids come join a program and immediately they are in a position battle with 5 or 6 other guys. Right away, they must [I]earn[/I] everything that comes next. If they were lied to or sold a bill of goods in recruiting, then that's partly on them for swallowing it. The only thing they are entitled to by way of past accomplishment is the opportunity to compete for a job. Many of these guys don't realize that fully or just plain don't like it. Some transfer out if they see an easier row to hoe somewhere else. I think that's what people mean by [I]entitlement[/I]. That said, not everyone that transfers out is in this boat. There are plenty of guys who do it for legitimate reasons and coach said as much. I have no idea which boat MM is in. I appreciate the fact that he didn't quit midway through the season or coast through the end of the season after he made up his mind. I like that he bowed out [I]before[/I] bowl practice started, too. All that says class act, to me. [/QUOTE]
